TV Talk: American Idol Results *spoilers* 5-14-08

It's results night! Is everyone ready for a DAVID-DAVID finale as I predict? I will be surprised if somehow Syesha worms out one of the Davids (and if she does I hope its David A!)

The show opens with the trio singing "Ain't No Stopping Us Now" and I have to say I thought they did a good job. I also really liked Syesha's hair this evening (Short and straight-good look for her) even though my opinion on her hair has little to do with the competition:)

Ok, so the Ford video was cute. (Of course Syesha was back to the poof with her hair and it just does not do her justice!) Up now is the recap from last night.

After the recap we honored with a performance by Fantasia. Ok, so I get she has a good voice although I really don't get this performance but there is just something about this girl that gets under my skin. I didn't watch American Idol when she was on it so the only things I know are from interviews I have seen of her on TV and such but her singing voice is ok but boy can I not stand to listen to her talk. And this performance is not enticing me with her singing either. Sorry-I know lots of people like her but I think I am glad I didn't start watching Idol until last season because I think I would have been turned off. Ok...I got to fast forward now. Although I did appreciate Simon's look of disbelief on her performance LOL!Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard!

First real part of the show is watching the visit home with David A. Its sweet to see all the support he gets and how emotional he is by all the attention and remind you how special a moment this whole event is, especially for such a young kid.

Next up is Syesha's visit home and then her "journey". Its sweet to see-I am honestly surprised she made it as far as she did but she does have a nice voice and it was better than some others, she has just had a bit of ego although in all honesty I am just glad we have been done with Carly!!! I will take her over Carly any day and twice on Sunday!

And now David C visit home and journey. It looks like he truly enjoyed himself and appreciated the fans and such. I thought it was so sweet how he surprised his music teacher-very cool. I REALLY hope he wins.

After all the feel good stuff (which I did enjoy) it was time to get down to business! And Ryan announces that it will in fact be a DAVID-DAVID finale! Wohoo!!

I really hope David Cook wins. I think it will be tight though so we will see what happens! Til next week....go David Cook!!!!

TV Talk: American Idol Results *spoilers* 5-7-08

Tonights show is the Results where we go from Top 4 to Top 3. I predict a bottom two of Jason and Syesha. Either could go and I am not really sure who it will actually be.

Ryan starts the show by saying it was the highest number of votes (51 million) and that the top 3 are all within 1 million votes of each other. Exacting!!!

They top four are now singing "reeling in the years". The corny choreography is really cheesey if you ask me. Its actually a bit distracting but oh well. It is what it is and it IS American Idol. Its like watching an old episode of The Brady Bunch singing group! I think half of the smiles on the contestants were because they too knew it was so silly!

First safe....David A.
Second safe...David C.

Up next who is staying and who is going....
But before that...questions from the audience. They were ok-entertaining but nothing overly exciting although I did like the question about why Simon hasn't been Knighted yet by the Queen.

Next up was Maroon 5...I didn't really watch it. The lead answering questions was a little silly but whatever. We tend to fast forward through the performances. Up next was Bo Bice...didn't care for hhim either. Didn't think he had a whole lot to say that was overly interesting either.

Staying....Syesha

and the one going home is....Jason.

I like the montage he had because I think it really shows his personality and it just didn't always fit on stage. I still expect a David-David finale and so in all honesty I don't think it mattered who went home. I will miss Jason but I think he was a little relieved. He even said he didn't know what he would have done next week when they have to sing 3 songs and he could barely do 2!

I think he did make it interesting and now all my love is going for David Cook to win it all. David A will do fine in 2nd and he can still go do Disney, Syesha will do broadway and David Cook will win and the world will be right with itself.

Til next week....

TV Talk: American Idol Results *spoilers*

I realize this is a day a late but I still wanted to post my thoughts on last night's episode of American Idol.

The show itself was ok. The results shows are never really anything exciting to be honest, except when they get to the results. I do like the way of "bringing them out" instead of just standing up on the couch bit they did before.

Basically, the way it all played out was that David A, David C and Jason were all safe. That left the bottom two being Syesha and Brooke. The idol going home was Brooke.

I think America got it right. I would have been fine with either girl going. I really think the top three will be Jason, David A and David C with a "David vs David" final. I am *slightly* concerned with the David A fanbase pulling it out and somehow beating David C and while I have had no problems with Savid A, I do think David C is a better choose for the winner. To me, he won it with his performance of Music of the Night". I am hoping that all the people who were Jason, Brooke and anyone else fans will pull it out for David C to win in the end.

For me, David A is nice. But I don't see him as the "American Idol". I feel like he does sing well vocally but he doesn't connect with the songs the way others do and I think that really can just be attributed to his age and lack of life experience. He has a nice story (overcoming vocal paralysis and all) but you need more than that. David C has a nice story too (his sick brother) but David C does NOT use that story to help him which I really respect because he could have really played things for the sympathy vote if he wanted to and it is respectful that he does not do it. I think all in all, that David C is the most talented in showing his ability to choose arrangements and know when to perform a song straight up and show the audience that as well. I will be honest here and say my husband liked David C from the begining and it took a few weeks for him to grow on me. I never not liked him but it was a few weeks in before I appreciated his talent.

I guess that about wraps up my thoughts on the results show. See you next week for more!!
